SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Effective February 1, 2021, the Commission published its schedule for the final phase of this investigation (86 FR 10994, February 23, 2021). On June 1, 2021, petitioners American Copper Tube Coalition and its constituent members, and interested party GD Copper USA Inc. (collectively, “domestic producers”), requested that the Commission cancel the hearing for this investigation if no other party requested to appear at the hearing before the June 8, 2021 deadline for such request. On June 8, 2021, petitioners reiterated the proposal to cancel the hearing, and clarified on June 10, 2021 that they were withdrawing any request to participate in a hearing. Counsel indicated a willingness to submit written responses to any Commission questions in lieu of an actual hearing. Consequently, since no party to the investigation has requested a hearing, the public hearing in connection with this investigation, scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. on June 15, 2021, is canceled. Parties to this investigation should respond to any written questions posed by the Commission in their posthearing briefs, which are due to be filed on June 22, 2021.
